What’s the last thing you’ve done that’s made you ask “Am I stupid?”
  • When I was a child, I once tore apart my room looking for my game boy colour, which was in my hand the whole time.

    Yeah, I had undiagnosed ADHD.

  • Anon buys an air fryer
  • Generally it will cook a lot of things better than consumer ovens because consumer ovens are fucking garbage.

    But yeah, it's just a small convection oven that heats faster and more evenly. I love mine. I mostly only use the oven for things that require a solid tray or don't do well with the fan in close proximity (mostly certain frozen foods). And baking.

  • Blender
  • One of my favourite things about godot is that the godot editor is itself a godot project made with godot (using c++).

  • Anxiety and depression on Vyvanse
  • I don't have similar symptoms but medication effects can really vary between people. It's best to talk to your medical provider to try other options or dosages.

    For me, vyvanse really only gives me reduced appetite and slightly increased heart rate, though at higher doses it keeps me up at night no matter when I took it. Lower dose fixed that while remaining effective.

  • Do you sometimes lose your patience when dealing with a co worker or friend who is barely capable of using a computer or smart phone?
  • Absolutely nightmarish.

    My mum's an academic so she's been using computers all her life, she's not exactly "techy" but I am eternally grateful I was able to get her set up with bitwarden as a password manager.

  • How do I set a default app in Android (12+) other than the option provided?
  • I know on my Samsung at the top of the apps list in settings there's a "choose default apps" option, but I'm unsure if that's one of their changes or not. I'm pretty sure the functionality is in base Android.

  • RimWorld - Anomaly on Steam
  • I also used to hit the component bottle neck until pretty recently. Unless you want to figure it out yourself:

    spoiler

    What you want to do is try to get the long range mineral scanner and drop pods quickly, scan for components, and then drop pod in your miners with some supplies, maybe an animal to carry stuff, mine out the resource node and then travel back home with the goodies.

    I went from struggling to get components outside of traders to having full teams in power armour pretty much instantly. Now my problem is that I accumulate wealth too fast and end up fighting off huge raids.

  • RimWorld - Anomaly on Steam
  • Yeah, but mod devs are people with lives doing this for free, so I'm not going to fault any of them for inevitably not being able to update stuff in time.

    At least they're adding native search and vein mining functions so those QoL features are taken care of!

  • RimWorld - Anomaly on Steam
  • Fuck.

    I just got all my mods in order again after not having played in a long while.

    Now this is on the horizon.

    There should be a word for this intense mix of excitement and dread I feel over this. Can't wait to have to do it again.

  • RIP my photos from 2017 and contacts from 2005
  • Though not every fail state is going to show up. If you start seeing weird intermittent behaviour from a drive, for goodness sake find a way to back it up immediately.

    My mum's new nuc started having some issues, SMART showed perfect drive health. After trying a few things to diagnose, I rebooted to run memtest and check for bad ram, and that was the last time it ever booted into windows. Controller or something on the nvme ssd died. Far too expensive to try and repair for data recovery. Thankfully had a... Somewhat recent backup. Not as recent as we would have liked.

  • What keyboard are you using and what is your WPM?
  • Swipe typing used to be so good for me, but now I have to correct every third word, it feels like. And it keeps correcting to just the most random ass words. Why the hell would it correct "probably" to "pusillanimous"? I've tried multiple modern keyboards and they're all like this, I should download an old apk...

  • Borderlands players - what is your opinion about the new movie trailer?
  • Hot damn, I thought it looked like a bunch of middle aged people doing enthusiastic but slightly off cosplay, but that's way more accurate.

  • I am unable to visit Japan.
  • Yeah, I'm lucky enough that mine is only really debilitating for study so I didn't have an issue not taking my meds for the trip. Really feel for you. :(

  • The future of Xbox will be revealed on February 15th
  • Too much box! Not enough X.

  • The future of Xbox will be revealed on February 15th
  • Finally, it'll be shaped like an X!

    What is your weirdest comfort food or habit?
  • Ever since I was a child, I've loved stale rice crackers. Specifically, the stage of staleness where they're no longer super crunchy and have started going slightly rubbery (if they go past that, it's no longer good). Something about the texture/mouthfeel is great to me. I used to leave my rice crackers to age before eating them. I don't do it as much anymore because I still like them well enough crunchy and I don't have the patience for it.

    Other than that, I do enjoy putting a salted cracker in a sweet sandwich (jam, nutella, lemon curd, etc) to add some nice crunch. Works just as well with savoury sandwiches, but I think that's less weird.

  • Reddit redesign is getting forced onto users without an opt-out option
  • Honestly I kind of like that lemmy has less content at the moment. When I've seen everything I'm interested in I close it and do something else, rather than doing nothing but scroll.

    Though I do miss the long format text stuff a bit.

  • Reddit redesign is getting forced onto users without an opt-out option
  • The redesign was garbage ux from the start and they ignored absolutely all feedback for years. It was fundamentally flawed from the very beginning and they buried their heads in the sand because they knew most people would still use it.

    Most people seemed to use the official app anyway, which is even worse, so I don't see many people changing over this. I was one of the people who said when old Reddit was gone so was I, I just didn't expect them to do something worse before that time came.

  • Fossil is quitting smartwatches
  • Holy hell, that's cheap. I'll have to look into grabbing one to play around with.

  • Fossil is quitting smartwatches
  • I've said it for years on Reddit and I will continue saying it here on lemmy. I miss Pebble.

    I use a galaxy watch 4 now but while it can do some more thing it still doesn't fully match the functionality of my pebble time. So many stupid software limitations that shouldn't exist.

    If the battery hadn't degraded I'd still be using it.

    I've looked at fossil multiple times and they've never matched the functionality I need. No current watches really do.
